Doing way too much for a Starbucks Snoopy cup

Transcript

Swear this is like the 4th cup thing in the last year. This is not been like the third time this year. There's been some limited edition Starbucks cup that has made people lose their minds. That lady was fighting and arguing with that Starbucks worker just for a Snoopy cup. Yes, this Snoopy cup that you probably could find online for way cheaper and get it anytime. I just truly do not understand people because number one, if it's a Snoopy Starbucks cup, right? Tell me the last time you watched anything with Snoopy and I guarantee you every single person in line fighting over those cups hasn't launched something Snoopy and probably a year. Number two, this is a Snoopy cup that you could get online. That's what kills me about this is that people see a Starbucks label on it and all of a sudden they're like, oh my gosh, I have to have this. When they can go and just look it up online and find it there and buy it for cheaper. I feel like at this point, Starbucks just needs to stop doing these because every single time this happens, some of the employees either get attacked, they get harassed, something bad happens to them all because people can't control their emotions over a cup. Because it is getting ridiculous that you have grown adults acting like this over a cup. This isn't even like Black Friday shopping. You're doing this over a cup.
